The decision follows Israeli threats to target Beirut’s airport if such flights continue. Hezbollah has used the airport for arms shipments, raising security concerns.

Lebanon’s New Government Blocks Iranian Arms Pipeline to Hezbollah
IDF Takes Out Major Hamas Leader in Lebanon
An Israeli drone strike in southern Lebanon on Monday killed the head of Hamas’ military operations in the country, Israel’s army said.
The strike came as an Israeli official said that Israeli forces will remain in five strategic locations in southern Lebanon near the border after Tuesday’s deadline for their full withdrawal. The pullout is supposed to take place under the ceasefire agreement in November that ended the 14-month war between Israel and Hezbollah.
Lebanon’s government has opposed any further delay in the Israeli withdrawal.
The Israeli military said the drone strike killed Mohammad Shaheen, the head of Hamas’ operations department in Lebanon. The army accused Shaheen of “recently planning terror attacks, directed and funded by Iran, from Lebanese territory against the citizens of the state of Israel.”
Hamas confirmed Shaheen’s death but described him as a military commander.
Israeli Real-Estate Event in Boro-Park "Chickens Out" and Relocates Event After Being Threatened by Pro-Hamas Agitators
An Israeli real estate expo has been moved to a new location amid concerns about a pro-Palestinian demonstration being planned in the heart of Boro Park.
Word broke on February 16th about the protest, which was to be held on 13th Avenue and 50th Street. Assemblyman Simcha Eichenstein shared news of the protest on social media platform X in an uncharacteristically strong-worded post that called on elected officials and law enforcement to ensure public safety.
“The Hamas sympathizers have decided to ‘flood’ our peaceful neighborhood of Boro Park,” wrote Eichenstein. “I demand that @NYPDnews and @NYCMayorsOffice take immediate action to prevent this hateful, targeted protest against our local Jewish community. It is YOUR responsibility to protect our neighbors and keep our streets safe! Hate has NO PLACE IN our community!”
The expo was set to take place at 6 PM at the Lumiere Hall, located on the premises of Yeshiva Yesodei Hatoran Vien, and next door to the Kesser Rizel High School Bnos Zion of Bobov.
Eichenstein also shared PAL-AWDA NY/NJ’s flyer, which described the demonstration as a “protest to stop the sale of stolen Palestinian land.” The words “Palestine is not for sale” and “Free Palestine” are printed on the flyer over images of black fists raised in protest, one of which holds a Palestinian flag. A social media post by the group derided the “Zionists in Brooklyn” for attempting “ to sell land in occupied Palestine, as part of their ongoing effort to ethnically cleanse the land of its indigenous inhabitants” and lambasted President Donald Trump for his “outrageous plans to force Palestinians out of the Gaza strip and in the wake of the displacement of tens of thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank in the past month.”
Massive Fraud Uncovered: Foreign Rings Steal Billions from US Taxpayers
In a shocking revelation, Stephen Miller, Senior Policy Advisor to the President, has warned that foreign fraud rings are orchestrating a massive scam, swindling billions of dollars from the United States government. According to Miller, these fraudsters are leveraging fake Social Security numbers and identities to pilfer taxpayer benefits.
Miller alleged that these foreign nationals are infiltrating the country, armed with fabricated identities and Social Security numbers. They then use these fake credentials to illegally access and drain billions of dollars from the US taxpayer-funded benefits.
This news comes at a time when Elon Musk’s DOGE is investigating the Social Security database, sparking concerns about the vulnerability of the system. The extent of the fraud is staggering, and Miller’s warning has raised alarm bells about the need for immediate action to address this critical issue.
Delta Jet Flips Upside Down on a Snowy Toronto Runway and All 80 Aboard Survive
What's going on??? Is Hashem giving us a message???
A Delta Air Lines jet flipped on its roof while landing Monday at Toronto’s Pearson Airport, but all 80 people on board survived and those hurt had relatively minor injuries, the airport’s chief executive said.
Snow was being blown by winds gusting to 40 mph (65 kph) when the flight from Minneapolis carrying 76 passengers and four crew attempted to land at around 2:15 p.m. Communications between the tower and pilot were normal on approach and it’s not clear what went so drastically wrong when the plane touched down.

Karoline Leavitt throws Democrats' own words back in their faces in brutal takedown
Karoline Leavitt, 27, is trolling Democrats who are afraid of DOGE with a reminder that their party leaders Barack Obama and Joe Biden wanted to cut federal spending in the past.
Liberals have been in a frenzy as they attempt to halt Donald Trump's and Elon Musk's DOGE, which is ruffling feathers in Washington as bureaucrats and longtime government employees fear their jobs could be on the chopping block.
Top Democrats have protested alongside federal employees outside of government agency headquarters to demand that DOGE and its lieutenants stop their quest to root out waste.
Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and others lawmakers have likened DOGE's cost cutting push to a 'constitutional crisis' as courts have sought to litigate the group's actions.
DOGE has already touted saving billions in U.S. taxpayer dollars by cutting expensive DEI and pro-LGBT initiatives within the government. It is also investigating fraud within the Social Security Administration for reportedly sending checks to dead people.
Leavitt is now brutally pointing out that the same Democrats who have been for cutting government waste in the past have been very vocal in opposition to DOGE.
'To all of the Democrats who are planning to protest this week, here’s an explanation on DOGE, from your party’s own beloved leaders!' Leavitt posted to X alongside a video of Obama and Biden lauding the same efforts DOGE is now undertaking.
In the video the two former Democratic presidents are shown talking about the importance of reforming the government to reduce frivolous government spending and waste - the exact mission DOGE is undertaking today.
'Budget reform is not an option, it's a necessity,' Obama says at the onset of the video in a speech given while he was president.
'We can't sustain a system that bleeds billions of taxpayer dollars on programs that have outlived their usefulness or exist solely because of the power of politicians, lobbyists or interest groups,' he continues in another clip.
Another portion of the supercut video shows Obama promising to go through each federal expenditure 'line by line.'
'We are going to go through our federal budget as I promised during the campaign, page by page, line by line eliminating those programs we don't need and insisting that those that we do need operate in a sensible, cost effective way,' the former president claims.
However, a Manhattan Institute analysis of government spending during the Obama era found that the 44th president signed off on $5 trillion worth of new legislative costs and drove the federal debt up an additional $4.6 trillion.
Then another Democratic hero pops on screen.
'The American people are entitled to transparency,' a younger Joe Biden says in a clip presumably taken from his vice presidency under Obama.
'They're entitled to be able to figure out where their dollars are going, and they're entitled to accountability to make sure that we're using the dollars for what we said it was for,' the 46th president claims.
'We hope to be instilling an entire new culture that not only our administration, but every succeeding administration will in fact, pursue,' Biden says of his and Obama's cost saving initiatives.
Then the video shoots back to another clip of Obama saying how 'easy' it is to root out government waste.
'What should be easy is getting rid of the pointless waste and stupid spending that doesn't benefit anybody,' Obama shares.
This one never gets old!
This is brilliant. What a hero.pic.twitter.com/4ihTpsdFAI

The Aristotle of Our Times Strikes Again!
“When we think about these moments where we see things that are being taken, but also let’s see it, you know, nature abhors a vacuum,” she told the performers.
“Where there’s a vacancy, let’s fill it. Let us know that the reality is that the progress of our nation has been about the expansion of rights, not the restriction of rights.”
Huh?
As she spoke in K turns, her disheveled hair fell into her face. And with every inane declaration, her eyes bulged like ET and her chin receded into her head. It’s the face one makes when they’ve been studying the complete works of Kendall Jackson.
“We have to be clear-eyed. And it doesn’t mean we don’t see the beauty in everything. These things all co-exist, but I believe we fight for something, not against something,” she continued.
And to think, in an alternative brat universe, this would be our president.
Dems don’t have the good sense to “unburden” themselves “by what has been” and drop her,
